        I spent a good chunk of this paycheck on car parts for my car and my wife’s.

        Breaks, oil and air filters, enough for 3 years of maintenance.

        Last month was parts for the furnace.

        Most of the affordable stuff is made over seas.

        If you can, I suggest also stocking up on repair materials. Parts are going to skyrocket in price very soon, and it’s going to become very expensive to even do regular maintenance on most mechanical equipment.

    One of the TVs in my gym plays fox news. Usually they have stuff along the bottom of the screen for current stock index prices (DJIA, etc.). Guess what was conspicuously absent today?

    It was funny to watch them hide it while the TV across from it runs CNN, where they were covering the tariffs and market drops, while fox was running a bit shitting on Kamala Harris.

    Saturday is when the really big tariffs hit (China, Vietnam, ect.)

    Enjoy your weekend because Monday will have people jumping out of windows again.
